Some of Australia's best young Indigenous football talent will put their skills on display for global giant Chelsea's FC former academy director in a first for a trailblazing Socceroo's program.

John Moriarty Football, founded by its namesake - the first Aboriginal player selected for the national side - has since 2012 utilised 'the world game' to deliver athletic, wellbeing and positive life-outcome programs to children aged 12-18 in remote and regional communities. It has engaged with thousands of kids over the journey.

JMF also offer scholarships for young talent to support their prospects in the game.

In May, the organisation will host the first National Talent Showcase in Sydney, giving selected players the opportunity to experience professional environments.

Jen Wicks is due to lead the showcase.

Wicks is a former director of Premier League heavyweight Chelsea's Academy - the club youth pathways setup, a UEFA A license holder and performance and coaching program manager at JMF.

"This experience will be life-changing. In addition to having the opportunity to showcase their talent, participants will also benefit from weekly mentoring in the lead up to the showcase, athlete workshops, opportunities to hear from professional athletes and access to future elite pathways," Wicks said.

"We are asking players interested in being involved to send us videos of them playing. So far we've been blown away by what is coming in. There has been some really impressive talent, which is very exciting."

JMF highlight the showcase comes in the lead up to the men's World Cup year, to be hosted in North America between June and July.

Expressions of interest as open for applications for the showcase.

Only open to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander footballers, the teens (aged 12-16) are required to submit a video of their skills on the field, reside in Australia and be free to travel to Sydney for the showcase.

Successful applicants will receive weekly mentoring in the lead up, a $500 grant for football-related costs and training from highly-accredited coaches with all travel and accommodation costs covered.

Moriarty has long advocated for efforts to see the success, and greater representation of First Nations footballers at the elite level.

"The talent pool is deep, and JMF's coaching methodologies are geared to activating natural speed, gifted coordination and creativity to optimise the X Factor that Aboriginal children bring to the game. The next step is the opportunity to be scouted and channelled through pathways - this is where JMF is changing the game by taking this step."

Alongside Moriarty, Harry Williams stood out as a trailblazer in the 1970's while Jade North made over 40 appearances for the Socceroos more recently.

For the Matildas, Indigenous champions Kyah Simon and Lydia Williams sit amongst the nations most capped, with over 100 appearances each.

Shadeene Evans is proof of JMF's impact.

Introduced to the sport through their programs, Evans progressed from a JMF scholarship to the A-Leagues, debuting with Sydney FC before moving to Adelaide United and later Central Coast Mariners, most recently moving to Thailand to play, in a professional career moving towards 10 years.

Evans, from Borroloola in the Northern Territory - the same community Moriarty was raised, is also a former Young Matildas vice captain.

Fellow former A-Leagues player and Kanolu-Gangulu woman Allira Toby said sporadic opportunities in representative sides can't be relied on to shift the dial.

"The fact that we have so few Indigenous professional players is disappointing. There are just too many barriers for them. This opportunity will open up pathways to new opportunities and could kick start some incredible football careers," Toby said.

"This is what JMF is all about."
